Archive your work
Use YouTube, Slideshare, or another site to upload your content so you can return to your created videos from any location
Create video viewing stations
Or watch selected video clips as a class. Either way, the video element can be just one small piece of your lesson and help reinforce main ideas/concepts
Differentiate learning
Use videos to get some students up to speed and accelerate learning for others
Flip your classroom
Let students DIG DEEPER into a topic
Make interactive video quests
In YouTube, a user (like you) can annotate video clips to create a new video that works as a choose your own adventure type learning pathway for students.
Organize the video content you find
Create your own account on the video site(s) of choice and save your Favorites to the account. Then when you return, you won't have to search back and forth over and over again. Or create Playlists your students can access in the order you want them to view items.
Review for exams
Before exam time, let students hear the core concepts of the semester with the help of videos
